Book Synopsis Performatism, Or the End of Postmodernism by : Raoul Eshelman
Book excerpt: The author suggests that in this era following the postmodern we have entered a new, monist epoch in which aesthetically mediated belief replaces endless irony as the dominant force in culture. The book documents the "new monism" through an examination of popular films and novels such as American beauty, Life of Pi, and Middlesex as well as in the work of major architects and artists such as Sir Norman Foster, Andreas Gursky, and Vanessa Beecroft. --book cover.
